TOM SHERRATT head of port vale fc foundation “Port Vale FC is about being at the heart of the community to meet the real localised needs that are bigger than football. As a local institution we have a duty of care to our community to lead both strategically and operationally and to support other organisations who are doing the same. This means supporting social mobility outcomes, community engagement, mentoring of children and families to benefit their welfare. It means raising aspirations of all people and building resilience. It means looking after and supporting the overall health and wellbeing of Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire. Our strategy ensures that we are driven by the needs and demands of our community and that they inform our priorities and objectives. As an integral part of your community club we will deliver our bold and ambitious strategy via a consultative, and collaborative approach.”
